1.What is your weekly exercise routine?Three times a week at the gym (one-hour session which consists of cardio and resistance/strength training). Other days, I do 30-40 minutes of YouTube exercise videos. My favourite videos are from Popsugar Fitness and the Tone It Up channel.

2. What is your fitness aim? To return to my pre-pregnancy weight, to get toned and increase strength.

3. How do you get over being too lazy to exercise?Just have to set my mind to it. It’s hard sometimes because I tend to use the no-time excuse or the I-have-a-baby-how-am-I-supposed-to-go-to-the-gym excuse. But if other moms can do it, then I surely can as well. Just have to arrange my schedule smartly. Having a workout buddy is also a good way to overcome being lazy. I work out with my sister who is a great motivator.

4. Weights or cardio? A combination.

5. What is your typical breakfast? Coffee with overnight oats or cereal.

6. What is the first thing you do after you wake up in the morning?Drink a glass of warm water.

7. How do you recover from a hard workout?Stretch, take a cold shower and get a good night’s sleep.

8. What is your advice to get people to exercise for health?It’s never too late to start – even if you’re a self-confessed couch potato. It took me a while as well. I would exercise, eat right, etc for a period of time and then fall back to being lazy. But working in a cancer-related NGO has made me realise that maintaining a healthy weight and being physically active can help to reduce one’s cancer risk.

9. What is your favourite source of protein and why?I’m not a fan of chicken or red meat so I’ll choose fish any time.

10. The single thing exercise has taught you?That exercise can be a form of therapy. Never knew that before.

11. What’s your favourite time to exercise?Right after work so that I have some me-time before picking my daughter from school.
